He’s in the Epstein files.

“.. the Times editorial board has compiled a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion .. The sobering reality is that the United States has regressed, to different degrees, on all 12.”

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

Happy Saturday, friends. Here's another important reason to video any ICE abuses or excessive force you see in your area:

Kristi Noem Falls Face First Into JB Pritzker's Trap Gov. JB Pritzker asked ICE to pause operations so Chicago kids could safely trick or treat. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem responded by basically admitting that she is running an intimidation campaign.

Johnson sets record refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 36 days after she won election | Arizona Mirror Speaker Johnson sets record with 36-day Adelita Grijalva swearing in delay as lawsuit claims constitutional violations

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

Letters: The demolition of the East Wing is an assault on the People’s House We the people run this country, and yet we’ve been left in the dark during its governance for the past 10 months.

Letter to the Editor:

It’s the People’s House, yet the people were caught completely off guard finding a pile of rubble where the East Wing once stood. This is truly symbolic to our country’s current state.

ICE has pissed off a neighborhood full of Trumper cops.

They’ve radicalized the Chicago Tribune

Trump administration blocked from suspending Snap benefits for millions of Americans One judge issued temporary restraining order while another judge ruled the government must continue to fund program that helps low-income households

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

Federal judges order administration to pay SNAP benefits but what's next remains unclear Two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funding to provide SNAP benefits. But it's unclear how much, or when, those funds would be provided before the funding runs dry.

BREAKING NOT NEWS:
Turns out that, legally, YES, the Republicans
CAN use the contingency fund at Dept. of Agriculture to feed people, while they continue their twofer stand off AGAINST releasing the Epstein Files and FOR shutting millions out of health care.

But Americans knew that already.

The Trump regime is acting like the Constitution doesn't exist and if we ever let their violations of the Constitution go unchallenged they will have succeeded in making that a reality. The Constitution is just an old worthless piece of paper if We The People don't care enough to defend it. #NoKings

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

DAILY MEMO: Federal Immigration Agents Heavily Target Mid-City L.A. For 2nd Day In A Row

A party that controls every institution of government, including majorities in both chambers of the parliament, should be able to keep the lights on & the airports running. Malevolent incompetence.

Dems are going to be holding hundreds of events and flooding the airwaves with healthcare ads starting next week across the country

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Trump Administration is nothing but SAD DAYS AS WE
WATCH
CAREER EMPLOYEES
LOSE THEIR JOBS,
SNAP AND
ACA SUBSIDIES TAKEN AWAY.
INCOMPETENCE OVERRUNNING THE White House.

AUTOCRACY WAR everyday.

These Nazis believe they’re untouchable and want us to know it.

They’re not.

Get organized in your community—prepare for nonviolent noncooperation. There’s more of us than them and we will get through this.

Checking my records. Here's a 6 year old with her hands zip tied behind her. America has shamed herself under Trump's government.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Been trying to think of some way I can help those affected by the SNAP cuts. Really upset about it, trying to think of some way to help those affected. Haven't come up with much yet. What's worse? Realized I've spent 1000 times more time worrying about hungry kids than Trump has - or ever will.

Illegal clarinet playing.🙄

A social worker and American citizen was tackled by a federal agent while playing her clarinet with a brass band with most of the players dressed in Banana costumes. She now faces felony charges on allegations she attacked federal officers during the Portland protests.

🚨Graphic🚨 The 🧊 SS who punches this man and drags his face across the asphalt could be recognized by a former victim in his life. All of these people are on the wrong side of a cell door. These are not LEO’s. They are perps.
